PIERZ, MORRISON COUNTY, MINNESOTA, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY , 21, 1924.
NUMBER .36
Y RESIGNS AS SECRETARY
Friends Inf&rm Coolidge They Understood His Embarrassment in Keeping Secretary.
Washington�Secretary of the Navy Edwin Denby has resigned and will retire from the cabinet on March 10.
He informed President Coolidge that in view of his connection with the oil leases he did not desire to further embarrass the administration by remaining a member of it.
The president, in a letter accepting the resignation, praised the official record of his retiring naval secretary, and said he acceded to the request with regret.
Theodore Roosevelt, who as assistant secretary under Mr. Denby had a part in drafting the order which transferred the naval reserves from the navy to the interior department, conferred with the president and announced later he did not expect to resign.
There was no indication that Mr. Coolidge had given thought to a successor to Mr. Denby but it appeared likey that one would be selected without delay.
After repeatedly declaring he never would quit the cabinet under the fire those who have criticised his part the oil leasing program, the secre-ry notified President Coolidge that was ready to step out, is decision followed a telephone sultation between the president Mr. Denby in which all of the st aspects of the situation were ed over in the light of informa-n passed on to the White House by epublican leaders in the senate.
POMERENE FOR PROSECUTOR
Walsh Leads Fight On Member of His
Own Party In Debate,
Washington�Over the vigorous opposition of Senator Walsh, Democrat, Montana, the Senate confirmed the nomination of Atlee Pomerene, a former senator from.Ohio, to be a special government counsel in the oil lease cases. The vote was 59 to 13.
Approval of the nomination of Mr. Pomerene came after more than six hours of debate. For nearly two hours the Senate fought over the question -of whether the nominations should be considered in executive session as is the usual custom, then it voted 69 to 2 to discuss them in the open. Senator Fess of. Ohio and Norbeck, South Dakota, Republicans, voted in the negative.
Organization of the legal machinery to handle the oil lease suits was completed by senate confirmation of Owen J. Roberts, of Philadelphia, as special government counsel,
BRITISH DOCKERS ON STRIKE
Labor Minister�s Attempts to Bring
Agreement Are Futllo.
London�A strike involving 20,000 well-organized dockmen will arrest the port work of the whole nation and if it continues for a considerable time may also make idle another million or mora men concerned in auxiliary waterside work and dependent trades and industries. This dockers' walkout is likely to prove much more inconvenient to the public than the recent railway strike, in that any prolonged cessation of work at the docks would prevent the unloading of incoming food and raw materials�a matter almost impossible for even the most willing government to remedy.
The minister of labor tried his hardest to prevent the strike materializing, but without success. Premier Macdonald is in the country at Chequers to get a much needed rest, but it is hoped that next week he may take some stop in an endeavor to find a way out of the difficulty.

The majority of the fanatics who took part in the iightolt is believed, here ,wer6 reiugetVwnrt escaped from Bueas Island, Surigao Province, off the Island of Mlndanio, which had been the scene of several recent clashes between the constabulary and the fanatics.
Small Change Made On Pierz R. F. D. I
A letter received today from Representative Harold Knutson states that a petition had been drawn up by Lastrup residence for a change in the Pierz rural route No. 1, whereby residence of Lastrup will have improved mail service. An order was issued authorizing: the ex-tention, and same is to be effective beginning: March 16, 1924. Approximately 24 families will be afforded improved mail facilities by this change in service.
The change is made by the carrier by coming to Lastrup from the south for the first time and delivering the mail. Then returning again on the same road a mile south then continuing the route out east and returning to Lastrup for a second time coming in on the north road to get the mail to be taken back to Pierz postoffice. This will give Lastrup villagers a chance to answer all mail received in the first call, the same day. This change will be of much benefit to people of Lastrup.
�Band Notes�
A fine rehearsal was held Tuesday evening with a good attendance. We have recently received a couple of fine new pieces and say this here new band is sure getting to the front.
The beginners will gather for the regular practice Thursday evening this week instead of Friday evening.
Someone Said that he looks for the band notes. Geuss that�s meant for a joke, Like the Englishman who met the Yankee on the street. The Yankee began telling the Englishman jokes with the usual result. Mr. Englishman either didn�t laugh^at all or he laughed in the wrong place. Finally the Yank looked at him in disgust and said �i know how to make you happy when you are old.� How,� asked the Englishman �By telling you a funny story now,� said the Yankee.

Tobaeco Raising in Stearns County
According to reports J>21,-856.69 were paid to 41 Stearns County tobacco raisers by February 1st, 1924, for last year�s crop. However there is still a large quantity of the product unsold. While tobacco raising is a new industry in our neighboring county which is turning out to be a big success it is evident that the crop can be profitably raised in Morrison county. Farmers are averaging as high as $200 to $250 per acre receipts for their crop which is considered very good returns for the seed, labor and other material necessary in tobacco farming.
County Lacks Quota In Potato Campaign
If a local association is to be formed, to become a part of the Minnesqta Potato Grower�s Exchange, Morri.-on county farmers will have to sign 3950 acres in addition to the present membership, according to word f jfom the state office at St. Paul.
Thirty counties already have their quotas, hence a state organization is assured in time to handle the 1924 crop. For ten months, the organization campaign has been in progress and must close, under the contract, on March I.
In Morrison coGnty, 42 growers have signed contracts covering 828 acres. Unless the needed additional acreage is obtained next, it will be impossible, under the agreement to form a county association.
We have for sale Alsike clover seed. Leave your order with us.
